you're correct...she has to use runs and the falsetto/hedvoice thing to give the feeling that the song needs... she tried... she's smart to arrange it in that way... still lacking...
sorry she's not better than Whitney. Whitney has the richest tone, power, dynamic, vibrato and her head voice is unbeatable that's why she's THE VOICE. Mariah has best whistle but Whitney has best head voice, listen th-cam.com/video/-YQUH1INUAg/w-d-xo.html
Jimmy V Sumual I’m sorry but Mariah Technique is better than Whitney . Resonance, melismas , whistle , dynamics upper belt and many more . Mariah got a light voice but yet her resonance and tone is really out this world . Mariah can do whatever with her whistle and her voice . The husky\ raspy voice that she produced. Don’t forget that Mariah is a songwriter and producer as well .
@@johnthona7094 I'm sorry im not talking about technique. I love Mariah so I KNOW SHE HAS BETTER TECHNIQUE THAN WHITNEY BUT WELL, HER MOTHER IS A VOCAL COACH. Mariah can't do whatever with her head voice. She use falsetto and her head voice is weak. She also can't sustained long high note above C5. Even her vocal stamina is not as good as Whitney that's why many of her performances were dubbed and she often avoid high note like in emotion and anytime you need a friend performance. Just because Mariah is a great vocalist doesn't mean she has no weakness. Yes, Mariah is an amazing songwriter and producer. But Whitney also a great actress. She can sing & act. Not to mention Whitney was a great model when she was a teenager.
What makes the song so special is because of its transition from low, belt, up to falsetto throughout the entire chords. Mariah is very specific about her song, NEVER CHANGE THE KEY ARRANGEMENT. This is a perfect example that you should always sing the song in same key or similar. Because changing the melodies means changing the whole song itself. And that what makes her songs so difficult to sing.
@@Patrick-gq1mvI don't thinks so. Mariah herself likes to change up the melodies and add adlibs in her live performances, plus she does lower her song's key and musical arrangement, (take a look at her live performances of emotions ), plus I think if the girl singing didn't change the style of the song she would have been told that she's unoriginal and imitating Mimi too much
A country singer who did a good version of a Mariah Carey song. Very Very good job. Her voice got better and better as season went. She should have lasted longer than Brooke.
Exactly. I mean like, of course its not as good as Mariah. The song is catered for her and the notes were catered perfectly according to her vocal abilities. I think she did a very good job.
Those days of love are gone Our time is through Still I burn on and on All of my life Only for you From now Until forever And ever my darling Forever You will always be the only one You will always be the only one As long as I shall live I'll hold you dear And I will reminisce Of our love all through the years From now Until forever And ever my darling Forever You will always be the only one You will always be the only one If you should ever need me Unfailingly, I will return to your arms And unburden your heart And if you should remember That we belong together Never be ashamed Call my name Tell me I'm the one you treasure Forever And ever, my darling Forever You will always be the only one You will always be the only one You will always be the only one Forever You will always be the only one Forever You will always be the only one Forever You will always be the only one Forever You will always be the only one Forever You will always be the only one
She did a pretty good job honestly. The thing is that in every Mariah Carey song, a single note always changes the song. No one could say she didn't try her best its just that it's a Mariah Carey song. You always have to sing the song as it is. Sure you could make a rendition (Always Be My Baby for ex.) but you always have to keep in mind the melodies, the rhythm, and parts. It's just so happen that this song is only made to sing by Mariah Carey.
I'm sorry little girl, you tried and I commend you for that, but this song is NOT to play with!! this is grown up masterclass shit, its vocal suicide plus you really need to feel it and express the emotion with your voice and face. this song is way too big for your voice your not only playing with fire, your playing with the sun magma.
Federico Raggio I agree 90% of what you said, cause its arguable if this is the hardest song to sing cause you are forgetting So Blessed, Your So Cold, And You Don't Remember, Never Forget You, Sent From Up Above, Anytime You Need A Friend and the list goes on! Forever compared to these ones I mentioned is fairly easy and this song has nothing easy on it. get my point?
her best performance. sad she left but she gave the greatest performance of her life. she sounded so great!!! mariah acknowledged her talent. fr. richbouvier
Why compare to the original. It's a competition and I'm sure, given the choice she wouldn't have picked this song.I mean this is a Mariah fucking Carey song. I thought she did a good job by making it sound a bit country and owning the song.
I give her props because in my opinion this was the hardest song to do justice, because this song changes regestiers, pitch, and needs ALOT of breath control, so i think she definitly did good
the reason why i like american idol is the fact that there are contestants like her. at first she was hated, she was always the underdog then all of a sudden she gave a stellar performance like this. though she was eliminated she'll forever be remembered by this performance.
this is one of her best performance, but this the song of death... she is doing better that time, but sadly she was voted out.. i love, beauty, strength and talent.
To xPHEONIXBLASTx: Thanks for writing what you wrote. I also find that Kristy deserves a lot of credit, having sung so well and so professionally and having invested as much as she did already just to be able to take part in this competition, not to mention all the preparatory work. I wish and hope that many other people as well will stick up for her as you did.
I have to agree that this was her best performance. She portrays a sweet wholesome young lady with a great country singing career ahead of her if the labels are smart enough to capitalize.
@sara6t It's called originality. If she sang it just like Mariah, then it would be just be a copy. Obviously a lot of people liked the southern twist that she put on it.
At that point the judges were pretty much plotting to get her kicked off...i must say she did a good job at singing that song and should have gotten high praises
i dunno why she has so many haters. i've always thought she competes fairly, with all her might. and im happy she made it this far. what i feel sorry for is that this performance is her best so far but it didn't save her. i downloaded this song and listens to it lotta times! you go kristy, never lose hope.
I can tell u, when i watched this episode, i went straight to the computer and downloaded it, im a country boi n i thought it was one of the very few songs i liked by KLC, it was my fav almost of the whole season, for simon and randy to say what they said, man theyre delusional
I don't understand the hatred some ppl have towards Kristi? They blame her for their fav. getting kicked out as if she had a saying in it? Why didn't u vote more for your fav instead of hating on the poor girl? She might not have the best vocals, but she really improved the last few weeks. I think she should have stayed a bit more till the top 5. I really admire her strong will and spirit. She continued without breaking till the end. She's pretty, smart, and talented. Good luck Kristi!
As much as you want to hate on Kristy, she's smart to pick good songs, sing them decently and piss off a lot of people who are bitter that their favourite get votes off. I have underestimated KLC, she's a lot better than what I put her to be.
She did a really good job with that song.I mean seriously these guys were forced to sing Mariah,what did they expect.She did really good with what she was given.I mean it's Mariah Carey for crying out loud!I wasn't a fan of hers,but I had to give her props for this vocal,she did surprisingly good!
This song is literally vocal suicide to any contestant on a singing competition show.
No lies detected 🙌
you're correct...she has to use runs and the falsetto/hedvoice thing to give the feeling that the song needs... she tried... she's smart to arrange it in that way... still lacking...
anthony sean wrong.
Agree,this is so difficult to sing
TheWeekndFanX0 lol that’s why no one sings this song except Mariah
nobody can touch this song...
This version is the suitable to be sung by us mortals. Mariah's version is on another level
Missed all the runs
No one can do this better than the original
And no one can do the 8 notes in one secound that is in the song
FishOfJustice At what point of the original is that part?
FishOfJustice maybe she wanted to keep it simple
Federico Raggio “never be ashamed call my name tell me I’m the one you treasure, forever”
Federico Raggio 1:08 from her 1996 Tokyo Dome performance of this song 🤓🤓🤓
instead bring down the contestant why not support them, like it’s Mariah’s! one of the hardest song, at least she tried! I’m mad at ya :(
Can people stop comparing her to Mariah Carey. Mariah is a legend and is one of the best vocalists with Whitney and Celine. It isn't fair.
As a Mariah's lamb, I agree that comparing Mariah to anyone is offensive. It's not fair
Mariah vocal is better than Whitney and Celine tho

The country twist in this song is really good. Who would have thought?
It actually is very lovely.
I agree ☺
Mariah said it would work well- if I remember this episode correctly when she was mentoring this girl
not really.................. not ME!
lol she just belted the chorus every time. This song is special because of the falsettos.
she seems wanting a different version.. so she did it on purpose...
What makes the song so special is because of its transition from low, belt, up to falsetto throughout the entire chords. Mariah is very specific about her song, NEVER CHANGE THE KEY ARRANGEMENT.

A country singer who did a good version of a Mariah Carey song. Very Very good job. Her voice got better and better as season went. She should have lasted longer than Brooke.
I think as a stand alone, she did a great job. And Paula is right, Mariah's songwriting legacy is tremendous and spans so many genres.
as a huge mariah carey fan, i thought this girl did good!!!! like it was actually really nice!
She really did.
Exactly. I mean like, of course its not as good as Mariah. The song is catered for her and the notes were catered perfectly according to her vocal abilities. I think she did a very good job.
I mean she held her breath for almost 20 seconds into that belting out in the end. Not all country singers can sing a Mariah ballad.
besides no one could ever compare to Mariah, I think this country version was actually pretty good.
The most underrated performer who appeared on this season of American Idol. Her growth through the show was phenomenal.
Mariah approved of her and Mariah got goosebumps from her- she did absolutely great
Kudos to Mariah as a songwriter. For better or worse, this night proved her songs can be rendered into any musical style and still be incredible.
I like the country sound she did to it! Im so used to MCs version but this wasnt terrible..
no one can sing this song like mariah but this version is nice too
Missed all of airy voices " FOREVER -MY DARLING"
Nobody can touch this song
nothing can sing this song better than mariah
Omg she did so well... wtf are they talking about 🤦♂️ the fact that she sang this insanely difficult song, and did it justice.
The arrangements, the vibe, the country twist, and the alto, the alto... Miss Kriisty did really well. I love this version
Missing these years of American Idol 😭😍
One of my favorite MC songs.
I think Kristy did an amazing job on this song. I Love it!! She got better and better. This year they are all so good. This was her best.
Those days of love are gone
Our time is through
Still I burn on and on
All of my life
Only for you
From now
Until forever
And ever my darling
Forever
You will always be the only one
You will always be the only one
As long as I shall live
I'll hold you dear
And I will reminisce
Of our love all through the years
From now
Until forever
And ever my darling
Forever
You will always be the only one
You will always be the only one
If you should ever need me
Unfailingly, I will return to your arms
And unburden your heart
And if you should remember
That we belong together
Never be ashamed
Call my name
Tell me I'm the one you treasure
Forever
And ever, my darling
Forever
You will always be the only one
You will always be the only one
You will always be the only one
Forever
You will always be the only one
Forever
You will always be the only one
Forever
You will always be the only one
Forever
You will always be the only one
Forever
You will always be the only one
You can't feel the same vibe as mariah without the falsettos and runs
I fell in love with Kristy Lee
She did a very good job with such a difficult song and special one. I really liked it.
I am an MC fan ; still I think Kristy did a good job. and the country twist made it country tone to it. I think she did good.
I couldn't stand her until this performance. I was literally shocked at how good she was.
i love your voice
Mariah Carey is nearly impossible to duplicate but Kristy did her thing
She did a pretty good job honestly. The thing is that in every Mariah Carey song, a single note always changes the song. No one could say she didn't try her best its just that it's a Mariah Carey song. You always have to sing the song as it is.

Rigel Mc This song is impossible to sing for everybody! Even for the current Mariah, this song is one of the most difficult ones in music history!!!
Federico Raggio I agree 90% of what you said, cause its arguable if this is the hardest song to sing cause you are forgetting So Blessed, Your So Cold, And You Don't Remember, Never Forget You, Sent From Up Above, Anytime You Need A Friend and the list goes on! Forever compared to these ones I mentioned is fairly easy and this song has nothing easy on it. get my point?
Rigel Mc You probably got me wrong... I said one of the hardest not the hardest😊
Rigel Mc you know she can't hear you.
She did sooooo good✨
her best performance. sad she left but she gave the greatest performance of her life. she sounded so great!!! mariah acknowledged her talent. fr. richbouvier
Wow, she looks amazing! She'll have a great career in country!
Finally someone else recognizes how awesome Syesha is! She's so underrated.
I recall her, so beautiful!
i love kRisty lee..since the first time i saw her..
KRISTY YOU ARE MY AMERICAN IDOL!!!! Cant wait to see you on tour!!!
This is my all time favourite MC song. I also like kirsty's version as she made it country style.
She was sooooooooooo gooooood
Mariah the diva forever
this is my fave song of her!!and she really sung this good!!and yeah she did not deserve to go...^_^
Why compare to the original. It's a competition and I'm sure, given the choice she wouldn't have picked this song.I mean this is a Mariah fucking Carey song. I thought she did a good job by making it sound a bit country and owning the song.
I give her props because in my opinion this was the hardest song to do justice, because this song changes regestiers, pitch, and needs ALOT of breath control, so i think she definitly did good
I only listened to a minute of the video and I thought it was amazing. Wow.
ilove this song and the way she sang it!:))
the reason why i like american idol is the fact that there are contestants like her. at first she was hated, she was always the underdog then all of a sudden she gave a stellar performance like this. though she was eliminated she'll forever be remembered by this performance.
that was a great performance...its a hard song..and she nailed it...one of her best performances...
I love :) The Best cover forever
It can NEVER be compared to Mariah's version! She did an ok job with this song!
Her cover of this song is my favorite for the last 13 years.
I think this i very2 good. I dont think I heard that many pitching problems. There were some here and there. But to me overall it was really good.
this is one of her best performance, but this the song of death... she is doing better that time, but sadly she was voted out.. i love, beauty, strength and talent.

I really love her version of Forever
I have to agree that this was her best performance. She portrays a sweet wholesome young lady with a great country singing career ahead of her if the labels are smart enough to capitalize.
When she said I like your version better I died , like C'mon now....
This was her best performance! Sad to see her go now that I've actually begun liking her.
She was TOO ADORABLE, anyways I know she'll become bigger...
She really has a beautiful voice!
SHE IS GREAT!!!
She did it perfectly
Canta muito!!!!!!
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's face it she doesn't have the resonance or range of Mariah...
@sara6t It's called originality. If she sang it just like Mariah, then it would be just be a copy. Obviously a lot of people liked the southern twist that she put on it.
Didnt like this at first. But now I love it...
Nice !!! Bit MC in her prime putted the level so IMPOSSIBLE 😊🎉
she's good
Damn, she is perfect!
At that point the judges were pretty much plotting to get her kicked off...i must say she did a good job at singing that song and should have gotten high praises
This Daydream gem really works well as a country tinged throwback. Mariah’s pen and producing wins again!
obviously the best
this is her best performance ever
I like the country twist on the song
Bongga! ❤❤❤❤
These judges are not fair in this. Kristy did really great in this song..
I love the country vibe on it
i dunno why she has so many haters. i've always thought she competes fairly, with all her might. and im happy she made it this far. what i feel sorry for is that this performance is her best so far but it didn't save her. i downloaded this song and listens to it lotta times! you go kristy, never lose hope.
i loved her performance. simon is insane lol
She's so pretty!!
Yay world! She's finally gone. Now I can watch the show. yay the world is great!
I can tell u, when i watched this episode, i went straight to the computer and downloaded it, im a country boi n i thought it was one of the very few songs i liked by KLC, it was my fav almost of the whole season, for simon and randy to say what they said, man theyre delusional
she's pretty good

She might not have the best vocals, but she really improved the last few weeks. I think she should have stayed a bit more till the top 5.
I really admire her strong will and spirit. She continued without breaking till the end.
She's pretty, smart, and talented. Good luck Kristi!
I do agree with you.
She did so good. I really wish she did the low notes
i admire kristy as shes so strong..Simon keeps insulting her but she kept strong...she only cried a bit..wow
i love her version
shes so pretty
She did a really good job with this.
Where are all of the falsettos and runs???? That's what made this song beautiful
As much as you want to hate on Kristy, she's smart to pick good songs, sing them decently and piss off a lot of people who are bitter that their favourite get votes off.
I have underestimated KLC, she's a lot better than what I put her to be.
Aww she's so CUTE! :)
@sara6t thats the beauty of a ballad.... it can fit into ANY genre. it does not have to explicitly be pop
This was really a brilliant rendition; it completely works. Mariah was RIGHT, this was a really interesting take on the song.
nobody can sing this like mariah, granted she is not my favorite, but mariah really rocks when she sings this.
She did a really good job with that song.I mean seriously these guys were forced to sing Mariah,what did they expect.She did really good with what she was given.I mean it's Mariah Carey for crying out loud!I wasn't a fan of hers,but I had to give her props for this vocal,she did surprisingly good!
